UAP Archive is a Rust CLI/TUI tool that downloads and archives the public UAP Release 01 media catalog from war.gov, providing resumable downloads, checksums, and an interactive terminal interface. It's interesting for its practical application of conservative HTTP downloading techniques and structured local archiving for a niche government dataset.

Target audience: backup engineers, researchers, data archivists
